A. Retico (CERN) SA1 EGEE 2007 ROC Managers Meeting Budapest, Hungary, 1st October, 2007 Abbreviations for Site-Names in GridView
Short history • End of August: • Following-up several complaints, GV service administrators asked the Cern roc-on-duty (it was me) for a way to contact all sites in order to agree with them on short names, previously defined, partially and arbitrarily by GV developers (happened to be the same people) • I suggested to open a GGUS ticket and let the ROCs reply • I (as Cern ROC) opened the ticket on behalf of GV admins. That was a mistake (ticket to be opened by CERN-PROD instead) • request perceived as “blessed” by Cern ROC rather that the fix to a production service it was meant to be • 1st week of September • GV modifies a bit the interface, allowing visualization with GOC DB names. • Today: • 4 tickets closed (CE,IT,SW,SEE); 2 to be closed (RU, Cern); 3 open (DECH,FR,UKI) ; 2 untouched (NE,AP) • no more site IDs shown in GV
GV: current visualization • Short Names
GV: current visualization • Long Names
GV: in development • Short names • Job Status: site-wise distribution
GV: in development • Long names (site view not available yet) • Effect example: “Job Status: RB-wise distribution”
Comments • Original issue: SOLVED • All sites are apparently now represented correctly • Relevant tickets can IMO be closed • GV mapping: UKI ROC’s points are valid • Real need for short names? • Static mapping should be avoided • GV Developers stick to short names • Mapping names also in future versions • Not clear to me if there is a requirement about that • Main users of GV should be also be consulted • Requirements to GV come mostly by LCG Management and Quality Assurance • Suggestion: move this points to GV with a new ticket • A formal request is harder to ignore (as this case has shown)
